Did you know that Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in the U.S.?
To have a chance of surviving, victims of SCA must receive a life-saving defibrillation within the first 4 – 6 minutes of an attack, when brain and permanent death start to occur. Two-thirds of SCA deaths occur in people without any prior indications of heart disease.
Have you signed the petition "keep AED's available"? If you are someone who works every day to help save lives, or if you have been personally affected by SCA and understand the critical importance of early defibrillation, please express your concerns to the FDA now, before their determination is made. A decision is anticipated by the end of 2012. - (www.sca-aware.org) http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/keep-automated-external-defibrillators-accessible.html
